A man from Tottington has been jailed for two years for grooming a boy over the PlayStation network.<\/p>\n

Ashley Roberts, 25, pretended to be a 13-year-old boy and tried to meet up with the boy in Birmingham before the victim’s mother spotted the messages and reported it to the police.<\/p>\n

GMP officers were informed by colleagues in Northern Ireland that Brooks had sent messages to the teenage boy via WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

Police identified another victim from the Birmingham area and a detective informed the parents their son was being groomed an hour before Brooks arrived at their home asking to meet the victim. <\/p>\n

Brooks handed himself in at Bury police station and was sentenced to two years prison at Manchester Crown Court after pleaeding guilty to child grooming.<\/p>\n

He was placed on the sex offenders list for 10 years. 
\n\tDC James Donnely said: “Brooks was clearly a predator online and was targeting young teenage boys online and attempting to meet up with them.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully, one of the victim’s mothers notified police and was able to place him behind bars. I would urge parents and carers to be cautious of who their children are speaking to online and if there are any concerns then they should report them to the police.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
